The approach is participatory and multidisciplinary and leveradges upon the ethical issues behind the case. Students will be presented with real case studies to be analyzed and assessed from multiple perspectives and according to different methodological approaches. This will convey the concept of teamwork and knowledge complementarity in our field.
